get something you can calibrate... if not your readings will be off.. my AEM is out 0.4 around stoich, and 1.2 (ish) under boost, get an LM-1 or LC-1 something that you can calibrate, it should not cause any issues if you can read the manual.

I like PLX, and I've also used Zeitronix widebands before. We use this one a lot on our VR4s:

For $275 you get a wideband monitor that also monitors boost, RPM, TPS, EGT... And it also comes with datalogging software and cables to datalog on a laptop.
^^^^ So, I could do Dataloggind in HPTuners with this Wide Band right? Thats what i'm looking for....something accurate and easy to install and i could use it to do Datalogging in Hptuners.....

Okay, i ended up getting the AEM UEGO Wideband off of ebay for like 275$ or so, i haven't heard anything negative or good about there wideband so i'll try it out. Has anyone heard anything about this?

It's one of the best widebands out there. Plenty of professional race teams rely on AEM. And for $275, you can't go wrong. Good find.
Hey ln2johnny, The zeitronix you showed for the boost read out part do you just hook up a vac line or what? That one looks really unique for the price. I was originally looking at the NGK AFX because I don't want to run a guage.
~Boost. Its what's for dinner!~
Cool, thanks Johnny, Hey Tim, I contacted the people at that site about the gauge cluster and all that good stuff, it comes out to be like 399 or something like that with the LCD monitor, but you're right, it's definatley sexy looking. If you're military you get a 10% discount too. Let me know if you want to get it, i'll hook you up....
I do what i can for the .ORG! So, is the AEM EUGO Wideband a good one to use with HPTuners?

Hey In2Johnny, I found another site selling them for a good price if your interested....

I'll have to check that out, thanks. I tend to be pretty loyal to Zietronix and will likely use their system but I like to keep my options open.
As far as the datalogging, if you want to use HPT (provided it's the Pro version), then the Zietronix is a bit of a waste, as you'd have a redundant system. On the other hand, if you already have the base HPT program without the datalog, and need to pick up a wideband and also want datalogging capabilities, then this would fit the bill. The Zietronix is perfect for someone such as myself who doesn't have dataloging in their chosen tuning methods, but want to have that tool available to them. For instance, I'm tuning with a Cartech FMU and an MSD DIS-II that I picked up for cheap. although I have a Scangauge right now to monitor engine vitals and check for trouble codes, it doesn't monitor everything I need to see, and it's not reliable in my mind when you start gettig serious with the performance mods.
Tim, the boost portion on the Zietronix hooks up the same way a regular boost gauge would. All the monitoring functions are pretty straight forward to install.
wow there is a LOT of questions in here that is covered in the HPTuners program help file and on the hpt forum
check it out sometime, it makes for good reading
